The admission is a competition between students, as the Ministry of Education limits the number of those accepted into the school year by year. There is no difference in treatment between the schools, nor does one school have preference over another due to the language in which they study. The subjects of the lessons are the same, and the questions asked in the examination are also the same. They are chosen from the questions set by the English and French examiners, and translated from the language in which they are set to the other language. The examiners strive to set a general standard for marks and summarize the examination papers as much as possible. No one was refused. As for those who were refused admission to the French section, only one student was refused admission to the English section since last year. Last year, those who spoke French among the applicants for admission were treated with leniency that was not afforded to applicants for admission to the English section. This was because the first year class of the English section was full, and there was a vacancy in the first year class of the French section. Two students were accepted into the latter, whose marks in the examination were lower than those of the students refused admission to the English section. Furthermore, five students holding scientific secondary certificates were accepted into the French section, and the law requiring a literary certificate was not enforced upon them, but it was enforced in the English section without exception. The English section was established in 1815, in the same way as the French section, and is now the section with the most students. The French section was established with the aim of opening the doors of the school to a large number of students, whose numbers are increasing year by year. At that time, admission was limited to those who studied their lessons in English. There was nothing to encourage young Egyptians to choose English over French in primary and secondary schools. The Ministry remained willing to teach in either language and continued to focus on teaching in French even after the demand for this language decreased and was no longer sufficient to maintain a class for it. However, the students or their guardians preferred to study in English, anticipating its future benefit. As the preceding table shows, the English section, which was filled in 1907, has seen its student numbers increase steadily until it surpassed the French section in 1915. In 1915, 110 of them were employed in government service. As for the students who graduated in 1915, the number is the usual in previous years, and it is expected that the government will need more than the number of graduates from this school each year. 1407 students obtained law degrees in June 1909.
